The "Yankees" vs the "Mets"?


According to Newsweek, it looks like an all New York World Series. No, not in sports, I'm talking politics, the US Presidential elections. Their polls and pundits predict that we'll see Hillary vs Rudy fighting for the White House.
Of course, a lot can happen before the party conventions next summer.
Besides New York they have something else in common, ambitious and powerful spouses (or "spice" as plural like mouse and mice.) The big difference there is that Bill has already been US President and Judith is, well, Judith.
Then, of course, there's the carpetbag issue. How "New York" is Hillary? Her state isn't the only thing she has changed in her quest for public office.
Rudy's big problem is his health. He is presently in remission from the same cancer that killed his father.
Cancer is a big issue these elections, since John Edward's wife has Breast Cancer, and it's spreading, though "treatable."
Even though I have the legal right to do so, I don't vote in US Elections. I'm glad that I don't have to make any decisions; the Israeli elections are tough enough.
